My husband and I were looking for a quick turn-around on a backyard transformation. Steve and his crew appeared on the scene, formulated a plan after listening to our needs, submitted a quote and did the job. All work was professionally finished, within budget and on time. Thanks, Steve, for a job well done. We love our new look! (This job included laying a beautiful stone patio, laying new sod, installing many plants, and reworking the drainage in our yard.) Excellent job!

Nelson and his crew completely transformed our back yard and we could not have been more delighted by the process or the outcome. The Entire Legacy Crew were dedicated, hard working, polite and professional. The scope of the job included major concrete work, 2 retaining walls, sod installation, stone work, irrigation, in ground drainage and landscaping. All of this work was completed by Legacy in two short weeks. Nelson was "hands on" throughout the process and treated our job as if it were his own backyard. I can not say enough good things about our experience. Thank you Nelson and Legacy Outdoor Living for enhancing our home and for providing us with an outdoor space that we love are so very proud of.

Artistic Design Roofing, I had a good experience with this roofing company. They roofed my house and did a great job. I had them back this week to sheath and roof a backyard patio with the same roofing material so it matched my house. They sent two roofers for the two day job. The workers at Artistic Design Roofing in Stone Mountain GA were very professional and courteous. They clearly wanted to ensure I was happy with their work and explained things while they worked. I would recommend this company and would hire them again. My in laws had similar positive experiences with this company as well.

Nadirah showed up a little late, however she did properly communicate and luckily I did not have any plans that interferred. She was very thorough with her cleaning and worked fast. I fell asleep on the couch to wake up with so many task completed efficiently. She was very friendly and I appreciate her good conversation. I like that she was willing to do whatever I needed to be done. She made my needs fit her job duties and not the other way around. I have already recommended her to a friend. And my family was always pleased with her work. With my baby coming any day now I'm glad I have a cleaner home to nest in. Thank you!

I was referred to lawns by John by a friend. I needed my grass cut that had over grown alot and edges trimmed and a few trees that needed to be cut back. I told him exactly what I wanted and the results were amazing. He was also very professional and he did the work in a very timely manner.I live in Stone Mountain and I'm very happy.

GREAT work and the most patient and understanding contractor I have EVER dealt with. My mom lives on a very steep hill. I hired Kelvin to install stone steps from the bottom to the top, and he did an exceptional job. His professionalism, communication, skills, creativity, and workmanship was far above average. I highly recommend him for landscaping projects.

Q & A

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Thumbtack.

How long does it take to install a hardwood floor?

Hardwood floor installation can take anywhere from a few days to more than two weeks, depending on demolition, wood type, the condition of your subfloor, total square footage of the project, and installation method. Demolition is necessary if you have existing flooring you want to replace with hardwood floors. New-construction homes do not require this step, as the subfloor is primed and ready for floor installation. During demolition, the flooring crew may find that your subfloor has damaged wood, uneven surfaces or other problems that must be addressed before the new wood can be laid down. Crews may charge on an hourly rate for subfloor repair, and the work can take a few hours to several days, depending on what’s hiding underneath your floor. The wood for your new floor generally arrives a few days before any work begins. This allows the wood to acclimate to the relative humidity in your house, which prevents it from shrinking or expanding after installation and causing gaps or buckling. The actual wood installation may take several days or more, depending on the size of your home and what type of custom cutting and designs are desired. If your flooring is not prefinished, the unfinished wood must then be sanded and stained in the home to treat and protect your new investment. Typically, stain takes a full day to dry, and multiple coats are applied. Baseboards and trim must also be installed. With all these variables at play, you can see why it’s important for a wood installation pro to provide an estimate only after seeing your home.

How much does it cost to install flooring?

On average, Thumbtack customers nationwide pay $5,500 for floor installation. The cost can range much lower or higher depending on the type of flooring you select (laminate is far less expensive than exotic hardwood), the square footage of the project, and other important variables like demolition and repair work needed. Here are some examples of average floor installation cost:

How much does it cost to install hardwood floors?

The cost of hardwood floors will depend primarily on the total square footage of flooring, the type of wood you select, the cost of labor in your region, and any preparation or repair work that needs to take place before installation. Selecting exotic woods, such as teak, will result in a higher cost for the project than a more affordable wood such as oak. The national average cost of hardwood floor installation is $5,750. Here are some examples of different woods and their average costs; actual costs will vary depending on the factors listed above.

Residential installation, total project cost: ~ $2,400 with five days of labor.

¾-inch dark stained maple installed on top of new concrete in three rooms, a hallways, and a staircase.

Cost for total project: ~$3.87 per square foot.

How much are oak hardwood floors?

Installing oak hardwood floors can add value and beauty to your home. The cost of hardwood floors is typically based on the overall square footage of your new floor, the type of oak you select, any repair work your subfloor requires prior to installation, and any demolition costs to remove your old flooring. Other factors that will affect your total cost can include the regional cost of labor and business overhead of your flooring company.

A flooring installation company may charge $3 per square foot for standard installation. For hand-scraped (higher-end) ¾-inch oak planks, the cost is approximately $7 per square foot, for a total cost per square foot of about $10 as long as no repair work is required. Standard oak planks are available from big-box stores for as low as $3 per square foot, so the quality of oak you want will affect your total project cost.
